Thunder and Jaylin Williams renew their contract for 3 years

According to NBA "revelation king" Shams Charania, the Oklahoma City Thunder, which just won the championship this season, chose not to execute the team's three-year forward Jaylin Williams' fourth-year team option, and signed a new three-year, $24 million contract with him.

Jerin Williams is the fourth pick in the second round in 222. Over the past three seasons, he has become a fixed rotation for the team with his 2.06-meter figure and technical characteristics of being able to be inside and outside.

Even though Harten joined this season, he still averaged 16.7 minutes of playing time in the regular season, contributed 5.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists, and was able to score 1.3 three-pointers per game with a shooting percentage of 39.9%, which is an important rotation in the team's regular season.

But in the playoffs this year, Jelin's playing time was cut in half and gradually fell out of rotation, with only 2.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game.

But this young man with Asian descent and cheerful and optimistic nature is the "atmosphere lubricant" of the team. Even if he can't play high-end games, the team is willing to keep him.

This is the horror of the Thunder. Next season, Homegren and Jaylen Williams are still in the rookie contract stage, and Alexander only earns 38.33 million. The total salary of the top three figures in the team is only 58.5 million US dollars, not even as much as Stephen Curry (59.3 million), which gives the team management a natural advantage in building the team.

What's even more terrifying is that even if the Thunder will keep all this year's championship team next season, the team's total salary next season is only 185 million, and there is no need to pay luxury tax!

This makes the Suns, Cavaliers, Timberwolves and other teams that spend a lot of money look like clowns.

What makes the competitors desperate is that the draft picks that each team values ​​the most. The Thunder still has 11 first rounds and 16 second rounds until 2030. With these strong assets, even if they win the championship this year, as long as they want, they can continue to strengthen their lineup in the offseason. Both Antetokounmpo and Durant had had rumors with them.

It can be said that the current Thunder management is simply using a "cheater" to compete with other team players. Such a defending champion is really terrifying.
